Description

The dataset contains global monthly-mean soil moisture statistics (average values) for 1 by 1 degree grid cells. The source for the data is AMSR-E daily estimates of soil moisture (AE_Land3.002: AMSR-E/Aqua Daily L3 Surface Soil Moisture, Interpretive Parameters, QC EASE-Grids. Version 2 ). The dataset covers the time period from 2002-10-01 to 2011-09-30.
